Hunter Conquers Challenge of Safarifrom the Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewGrowing up chasing rabbits and pheasants in places such as Latrobe and Murrysville turned Gene Ciafre into a hunter. His first safari to Africa almost turned him into a corpse. He was helping to trail a cape buffalo that someone had first wounded when the animal -- which weighed well in excess of 1,000 pounds -- charged him from ambush. It was coming head on and had closed to 10 yards before Ciafre was able to kill it. That rush, which almost ended his life, definitely changed it. More

How to Track Down a Trophyfrom American HunterNew snow is a huge boon if you know how to take advantage of it. Not only does it cover old tracks and show you where the game is now concentrated (so you’ll know where to focus your time), it obviously makes finding fresh tracks and following them much easier.

Shooting Resort Brings Quail Back To East Texas Huntersfrom the Tyler Morning TelegraphA successful businessman, Billy Burnett decided two years ago to take the best of what he experienced at other preserves and incorporate them onto the 550 acres he purchased eight years ago just north of Lake Fork. After a year of experimentation with field crops and rearing birds in on-sight flight pens, Burnett and his family opened the Hidden Lakes Hunting Resort. A work in progress, Burnett has sculpted the property into five fields for upland bird hunting - quail, pheasant and chukar - as well as a site for occasional European-style pheasant tower hunts.

Feral Pigs have Gone Hog-wildfrom the Press DemocratAutumn is a time for country walks, and, if you are that way inclined, for a spot of bang-bang. But hunters and hikers alike are liable to come face-to-face with a nasty surprise: a growing number of feral hogs, the destructive descendants of domesticated animals, are stalking the United States. There are thought to be between 4 million and 5 million feral hogs at large in America, spread across 38 states. The biggest population is in Texas. More

Big Buck, Fawns Small in Numbersfrom the Abilene Reporter-NewsDeer hunting across Big Country counties this year is just about like we've all been discussing and debating, according to local game wardens, meat processors and hunters. Yes, there seem to be plenty of mature does and bucks that are in beautiful physical condition.

It's Early, but Quail Numbers Strong in Some Areasfrom the Austin American-StatesmanThe Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has predicted a spotty to good quail season in much of South Texas this year, depending on where rain fell and how successful late hatches have been. Quail went from extreme drought conditions in July to as much as 50 inches of rain in some areas by October, and that spurred adult quail into laying and hatching eggs. More

For Hunters, Chasing Bears a Way of Lifefrom The Fayetteville ObserverIt’s 4 a.m. on Nov. 17. Before Tim Rowe climbs into his truck and drives two hours east to the woods near the North Carolina coast, something needs to be made clear: Rowe loves his dogs. He takes care of them.
